Mom 1922-2009

John had to do the cooking tonight – fried rice & chicken fingers.

Not much of a meal, but it was a rough day.

Tonight was a mother’s dream – dinner with my two children and the love of my life. We ate at the Log House Restaurant.

John’s dinner – baked scrod, fries & cole slaw.

Mike’s dinner – teriyaki steak, fries & green beans.

Heather’s dinner – teriyaki chicken, baked potato & green beans.

My dinner – grilled pork chops, baked potatos & pickled beets.

Per Heather’s request – steak (apparently all the red meat in England is crap!), grilled potatoes and summer squash.

After work, I’m off to NYC to pickup my daughter from the airport. There will be no cooking today, so I give you my lunch. Actually, it is my lunch and dinner, so there are 2 of everything – ham , turkey & swiss sandwiches, potato chips, cantaloupe, grapes & Blueberries and brownies.

We went to see the movie, “Julie & Julia” this afternoon. In honor of French cooking, we had filet mignon, baked sweet potato and corn. Bon apetit!

Orange-ginger salmon, garlic rice & fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and basil.

Cubed steaks, mashed potatoes, broccoli & cole slaw.

Awesome dinner at Papacelle’s in Avon along with a great jazz trio -

First course – trio of meatballs so good we ate them before they could be photographed!

Second course – fresh tomato soup with a mini grilled cheese sandwich.

Third course – beautiful light greens in balsamic vinagrette.

Fourth course – fusilli with chicken and chianti- soaked raisins & penne with hot peppers and slivered almonds.

What a meal!
